Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 2010 MC for the wife a month ago. So far, both her and I love the car... A LOT. it is a base mini with all the bells and whistles you could want in it. Everything but the sat nav is included in the car, and it even has the wood red leather interior!!

it definitely feels a lot more high end then the price we paid, and i think its a very nice little car. i'm looking forward to learning all there is to learn about mini coopers here.

to the veteran members here, please be patient with me here as i am new to this forum and i find it quite hard to navigate lol

the car specs is

2010 - Mini Cooper
Pepper White
17" alloys
red leather interior
dual sun roof
Ipod/USB integration
heated seats
black mirros and roof
fog lights
chrome accents inside and out

i would post pictures but the site wont let me for whatever reason. says i'm 30 points out?

Welcome, and nice to hear from someone else in NS (I live in Dartmouth.) Two-time previous Mini owner and currently waiting to pick up number three.

Sounds like whoever ordered your car originally was pretty daring with the interior colour. Would be interesting to see a picture! If you're on Facebook, search for "Maritime Mini Cooper Club" and join a few of us.

Congratulations on the new ride!

Hi, sounds like a sweet little ride. Mine is also a Cooper hardtop loaded with options, I have the NAV instead of leather though.

The day I picked him up (His name is Desmond (Mk 2)) 12/5/12.

I have since taken the front licence plate holder off the front of the car. but since this is my wife's daily, i wont be modding this car at all. unless she wants some 'cute' things like the union jack car mirrors. other than that, i doubt i'll do anything to it.

i have my own car which i modify

Looks nice. Darn New Brunswick and their front license plate. I can't tell what beach that is, but it's a great location for pictures. Thanks for sharing.
